Cipro Given Black Box Warning

"Washington, DC: On July 8, 2008 the Food and Drug Administration slapped a black box warning on Cipro and other, similar antibiotics due to an increased risk of tendonitis and tendon rupture. Recent adverse reports include ruptures to the shoulder, hand, bicep or thumb tendons."

The reactivity of 13 quinolones (levofloxacin, ofloxacin, pefloxacin, enoxacin, moxifloxacin, gatifloxacin, trovafloxacin, sparfloxacin, lomefloxacin, ciprofloxacin, clinafloxacin, norfloxacin, and nalidixic acid) was tested in 5 commercial opiate screening assays from September 1998 to March 1999. In 6 healthy volunteers, we confirmed the cross-reactivity of levofloxacin or ofloxacin with these opiate screening assays.
Sometimes, nausea can be caused by infections of the GI tract. You may need antibiotics if this is the case. Norfloxacin or Ciprofloxacin are good choices in this case.
I also reccomend that you try homeopathy in addition to taking regular medicines. You could try Ipecaec 200 X 2 times a day X 7 days. Homeopathy works well for nausea (in addition to regular medicines).
Antibiotics that are specific for the urogenital tract include ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin, levofloxacin, and sparfloxacin. Dosages and doses vary basedon the antibiotic you want to start.
For example, ciprofloxacin is administered twice daily in 500 mg tablets for 7 days.

He diagnosed prostatitis and put me on ciprofloxacin for 10 days. He also did urinalysis and nothing came up reactive. WBC normal. Everything normal. So my question is, is my condition likely prostatitis or should I be concerned with an NGU that is not chlamydia? I have a girlfriend who I am concerned about spreading something to. Many thanks!
In summary, although no reports describing the use of sparfloxacin during human gestation have been located, the available evidence for other members of this class indicates that a causal relationship with birth defects cannot be excluded (see Ciprofloxacin, Norfloxacin, or Ofloxacin), although the lack of a pattern among the anomalies is reassuring.
My doctor gave me Norfloxacin 400mg dose twice a day for a yeast infection during my first week of pregnancy wthoutout knowing I was pregnant now that i missed my period and took the pregnancy test which came positive I know that i must have conceived a week before I actually got the thrush and went to the doctor saying I probably had the yeast infection and had passed on to my partner when he gave me Norfloxacin without checking if i was pregnant.
The usual organisms causing infection in the prostate and epididymis are sensitive to ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin, doxycycline, etc., but the duration of treatment should be for a minimum of 15-20 days for a prostate infection.
I don't know if I have Trich or not but I was wondering if taking Ciprofloxacin 500mg 2x daily would cure it?
Just 2-3 days after my initial pains started,i went overseas and the doctor there gave me norfloxacin as he suspected a urine infection and i took the whole dose for a week and after that i was fine.But 5 days later,it was the same time so i had another course of norfloxacin and it was the same thing-i felt well when i was on norfloxacin but the pains came back after finishing the course.
My doctor did a urine test for me when i returned from overseas.
Hi doc. I have a chronic orchitis condition. I visited my GP and he gave me norfloxacin 400mg twice per day for my condition. Is it effective? Thx a lot.
I was given a prescription for Norfloxacin to treat a UTI, diagnosed as cystitis. Based on information I've read online, this looks like a strong and potentially dangerous antibiotic to take for what I understand to be a common UTI. I am not completely comfortable with the circumstances in which I was given this antibiotic, which may be contributing to my doubts. Is this a reasonable antibiotic for me to take?
I thought I caught a bug and after waiting for 3-4 days, I started antibiotics which I got from home -combination of Ciprofloxacin 500 mg and Tinidazole 600mg twice a day for 5 days. Then I got burning sensation after stool and I was over with this medicine and thought to continue antibiotic for atleast 7 days. So I switched to combination of Tinidazole (600mg), Norfloxacin (400mg), Lactobacillus (120Million spores) twice a day along with Albenda on alternate day for 3 days.
Yes, they did sensitivity test too and suggested antibiotics that are sensitive are (in order) nitrofurantoin,ciprofloxacin,norfloxacin,cefoperazone,amikacin. again when we went to doctor, he gave hicobal injection and Gabapin NT along with uribid and montemac as dose.Now no fever,but tingling sensation continues.
Thankyou.
HI Doctor
I have burning sensation in my urithera which persist 1 hour or some time 2 hours in a days sepcically before urination it starts.i m using norfloxacin and citrica but it is not effecting and i drink plenty of water in a days but nothing happening.NO yellow discharge shown.
Hi,
If the tenderness is persisting after 10 days of treatment with norfloxacin and tinidazole, it is possible that the infection is resistant to the antibiotic you took.
Ideally, have a urinalysis to detect infective organism in the urine and a culture sensitivity to identify the antibiotic that the infective organism is sensitive to. Then take and complete the course of antibiotic in the prescribed dose.
Hello,
I'm experiencing some clitoris pain, or at least that's what I think it is, for the past week.
I have been through a UTI infection 3 times till now (I tend to hold my urine when out of my house, I don't trust public toilets), thank God never complicated, with the only symptoms being frequent urination, intense smell of my urine and pain towards the end of urination.
The reactivity of 13 quinolones (levofloxacin, ofloxacin, pefloxacin, enoxacin, moxifloxacin, gatifloxacin, trovafloxacin, sparfloxacin, lomefloxacin, ciprofloxacin, clinafloxacin, norfloxacin, and nalidixic acid) was tested in 5 commercial opiate screening assays from September 1998 to March 1999. In 6 healthy volunteers, we confirmed the cross-reactivity of levofloxacin or ofloxacin with these opiate screening assays. be positive, therefore some will and have failed these test.
